Okay, so this is my review broken down into categories for my gixxer (dual tone, double disc). Considering its red-black, i named her benihime (the crimson princess, japanese).

Styling: what can i say?! she looks fast even when standing still and has aged superbly or not at all. This bike has the best rear profile and looks pleasant and sporty from all angles. Those 41 mm forks (which also do duty in a litre-class bike triumph bonneville) look awesome and so does the lowered headlamp giving it a very butch appeal. One con here is that you can’t use the kick start if you have not folded in the right foot peg, can get a bit annoying at times.

Ride & handling: this one rides like a charm. It is fast, fun, and reliable. The hornet was faster than this when released, but the bs4 version loses to this easily. This has really good low-end grunt needed for the city and a respectable real-life top speed of 115. All the components scream high quality. The front forks absorb anything coming in the way and provide stability at high speeds. This comes with the most expensive tyres in its class – the mrf revz, with the rear one being a radial variant (hornet has cheaper mrfs and pulsar has skinny tyres not worth a mention). They inspire a lot of confidence. There is the 7-step adjustable monoshock for your convenience. The paint and metal quality is top notch and survived this monsoon like a champ. The foot-pegs are front set, making it the fastest bike providing the most comfortable body posture in this segment. A con here is that the rear seat is too high for the short ones and not very accommodating; it also slides the pillion rider forward because of a forward incline.

Longevity: this is an unusual thing to include in a bike but the competitors make me do that. This is currently against hornet and pulsar 160 ns. Now one simple reason why this bike will hold up for longer in terms of structural integrity is because of how bare-bones it is. The hornet (also called unicorn on weak steroids) and pulsar have a beefed up appearance, which is because of the fibre panels. The more the panels, the higher the chances of panel gaps or impact damage. Gixxer has not a single panel that doesn’t add to the function, except the tiny one that carries the branding. Expect no rattling from this, this is made like a tank and can make enfields cry in terms of how well put together it is.

Sound: this sounds the best because of the dual barrel exhaust.

Console and electrical: the console is the only one in this segment to offer a gear shift indicator, which is quite important to get the best of your bike. My horn stopped working because of the rains maybe, but no big deal, it’s a cheap fix.

Engine: what a beauty this is! i am using a gixxer after having a pulsar 220 for 5 years. While my pulsar was quick to disagree if the speed was not in a gear it was comfortable with, the gixxer is just so so so forgiving. You can start the bike in 3rd gear. Need not say more.

Verdict: so should you buy it? yes. I say this without knowing your purpose as this bike can do anything. It can be your partner of a peaceful ride and it is up to the task when you want to drive fast enough to catch flash. Why should you buy this over p160 ns or a hornet. Because of these three bikes, only the gixxer was conceptualized as a gixxer. Each and every nut and bolt in it was destined to be a gixxer, unlike hornet which is a beefed up and bored out unicorn with some better hardware. Given my experience with my pulsar, i would not recommend that you spend money on this brand; the bike has inferior hardware anyway in all aspects. You may be fine owning any of these to a certain point, but take my word, gixxer is a bike that will tug the strings of your heart, make you want to name it, will compete with important people in your life for affection, and be a source of their envy. This isn’t a bike, this is reassurance at the turn of a key. It is not perfect, but it’s perfect enough for you to not mind the little things. Get it.

    Absolutely love this bike..reached 40000kms It's a beast in mid-range performance. I commute about 70kms daily on it never been disappointed so far.. If properly maintained gixxer could be one of the best 150s out there. The things I don't like are the paint quality and the top end. The headlights have an awesome throw. Build quality is great if you don't count the paint quality. The bike has one of the best exhaust notes in the segment especially when it goes at 70-90km/h even after revving it so much I still get about 37 km mileage. The gearbox is a bit clunky. The bike has a low seat height but that doesn't make it uncomfortable for tall riders I'm 5'11 . The rear seat is too uncomfortable in this model but the new seats are great. Absolutely underrated bike. Braking performance is above average. Offroad performance is also great when compared to other bikes in the segment.
    Overall if I get to choose my first bike again, I will definitely choose the Gixxer. Now I'm buying another one as an upgrade to this one. This time an sf 250.

  • Gixxer - a good vehicle to ride on

    2 years ago


    Vignesh J

    I bought this amazing bike in the second half of 2015 for my daily office commute. I used to maintain it very well.
    It is a comfortable vehicle to ride on. In the past 6 years, I haven't faced any issues with this bike.
    Pros :
    - good engine performance
    - good milage
    - long-lasting one
    - stylish look
    Cons :
    - for family, does not suit well as pillion seat is a little bit high.

  • Good bike

    4 years ago


    Anoop

    Good bike for my travel partner.No major complaints still now.I will get 58 millage,He gixxer was the perfect shot in the arm for suzuki when it came out in 2014. In fact, not only did it do well for the japanese manufacturer, the bike also went on to become one of the bestselling 150cc motorcycles in the country. Of course, with a name like that gixxer is what suzuki's sportsbike family is called affectionately by enthusiasts the world over the bike had a certain ring to it besides being a well-packaged machine. A bunch of revised paint schemes over the years has ensured the gixxer kept cash registers ringing for suzuki, but let's admit it, the bike had started feeling dated thanks to competitors upping their game. And suzuki has just done that too with the new, 2019 gixxer. We put the bike through our road test scalpel to see if the new bike can continue the 'gixxer' legacy.

  • Gixxer 150 - your city commute option

    4 years ago


    Sanket

    After a point, the servicing cost of the bike goes up a lot. I have driven the bike for more than 1 lakh kms. It has given good support up to a point. This bike can be considered for an occasional commute. The pillion seating is not that comfortable and for long rides, it causes backache. Good for city driving only.

  • Pathetic service and spare availability though the bike is good. Would have given 0 star for service center support

    4 years ago


    Anandu

    I want to share my experience with suzuki gixxer as the worst choice that i have ever took. Not because the bike is bad but because the after sales service and engineer's knowledge about bike is 0.I found my fuel indicator complaint during my 3rd free service and told them(thopumpady service centre) to replace the part,But they didn't have the spare parts available, this continued till my 10th service and even after that they din't have the spares. But now i had to replace my break pads,fuel float chain sprockets but the service centre didn't have any of these parts and when I reached the showroom to take my bike it was not even touched, they just gave me back my bike saying parts are not available,I raised a complaint with suzuki and then a person from kundanoor(showroom manager i guess) contacted me and said he has arranged all the parts and will service the bike properly, but when i gave my bike chain sprocket was still not available and somehow they got One the next day and changed all the parts it cost me around 4500 for this service and then when i took the bike out it was not starting,They said that the spark plug is complaint and they didn't have a replacement, Then some how bike started and i took it home with lots of frustration in mind,Then the next day when i took my bike out for ride and filled petrol,i saw that the petrol was leaking from the bottom of the tank,I think it's from the area where new fuel float was fixed,you can imagine how dangerous the situation is,It could have resulted in a blast and cause fatality and risk not only to me but the people near that petrol pump,I somehow managed to drain all the petrol and parked my bike in the parking lot near the petrol bunk.

  • Made for single riders long drive

    4 years ago


    Rajesh Kanna

    The bike provides comfortable ride and it has really smooth engine but it's ground clearance is bit of a disadvantage and pillion seat is not comfortable for even half an hour of ride. But reliable when comes to traffic and highway rides and it's digital indicator is a plus as it shows the rpm speed and gear you are riding at along with time and other standard details.

    Bike is good not upto the mark. Service is really really poor. Only good looks doesn't make a bike good it requires an excellence in service too. Bought it on diwali in 2018. Average is quite good, giving 50km/l with light traffic. Top speed to which i ran it 106km/h. Brakes are nice. Abs is really good.

  • Fell in love with the suzuki engine

    1 year ago


    Goutham

    Absolutely love this bike..reached 40000kms It's a beast in mid-range performance. I commute about 70kms daily on it never been disappointed so far.. If properly maintained gixxer could be one of the best 150s out there. The things I don't like are the paint quality and the top end. The headlights have an awesome throw. Build quality is great if you don't count the paint quality. The bike has one of the best exhaust notes in the segment especially when it goes at 70-90km/h even after revving it so much I still get about 37 km mileage. The gearbox is a bit clunky. The bike has a low seat height but that doesn't make it uncomfortable for tall riders I'm 5'11 . The rear seat is too uncomfortable in this model but the new seats are great. Absolutely underrated bike. Braking performance is above average. Offroad performance is also great when compared to other bikes in the segment.
    Overall if I get to choose my first bike again, I will definitely choose the Gixxer. Now I'm buying another one as an upgrade to this one. This time an sf 250.

  • Gixxer - a good vehicle to ride on

    2 years ago


    Vignesh J

    I bought this amazing bike in the second half of 2015 for my daily office commute. I used to maintain it very well.
    It is a comfortable vehicle to ride on. In the past 6 years, I haven't faced any issues with this bike.
    Pros :
    - good engine performance
    - good milage
    - long-lasting one
    - stylish look
    Cons :
    - for family, does not suit well as pillion seat is a little bit high.

  • Good bike

    4 years ago


    Anoop

    Good bike for my travel partner.No major complaints still now.I will get 58 millage,He gixxer was the perfect shot in the arm for suzuki when it came out in 2014. In fact, not only did it do well for the japanese manufacturer, the bike also went on to become one of the bestselling 150cc motorcycles in the country. Of course, with a name like that gixxer is what suzuki's sportsbike family is called affectionately by enthusiasts the world over the bike had a certain ring to it besides being a well-packaged machine. A bunch of revised paint schemes over the years has ensured the gixxer kept cash registers ringing for suzuki, but let's admit it, the bike had started feeling dated thanks to competitors upping their game. And suzuki has just done that too with the new, 2019 gixxer. We put the bike through our road test scalpel to see if the new bike can continue the 'gixxer' legacy.

  • Gixxer 150 - your city commute option

    4 years ago


    Sanket

    After a point, the servicing cost of the bike goes up a lot. I have driven the bike for more than 1 lakh kms. It has given good support up to a point. This bike can be considered for an occasional commute. The pillion seating is not that comfortable and for long rides, it causes backache. Good for city driving only.

  • Pathetic service and spare availability though the bike is good. Would have given 0 star for service center support

    4 years ago


    Anandu

    I want to share my experience with suzuki gixxer as the worst choice that i have ever took. Not because the bike is bad but because the after sales service and engineer's knowledge about bike is 0.I found my fuel indicator complaint during my 3rd free service and told them(thopumpady service centre) to replace the part,But they didn't have the spare parts available, this continued till my 10th service and even after that they din't have the spares. But now i had to replace my break pads,fuel float chain sprockets but the service centre didn't have any of these parts and when I reached the showroom to take my bike it was not even touched, they just gave me back my bike saying parts are not available,I raised a complaint with suzuki and then a person from kundanoor(showroom manager i guess) contacted me and said he has arranged all the parts and will service the bike properly, but when i gave my bike chain sprocket was still not available and somehow they got One the next day and changed all the parts it cost me around 4500 for this service and then when i took the bike out it was not starting,They said that the spark plug is complaint and they didn't have a replacement, Then some how bike started and i took it home with lots of frustration in mind,Then the next day when i took my bike out for ride and filled petrol,i saw that the petrol was leaking from the bottom of the tank,I think it's from the area where new fuel float was fixed,you can imagine how dangerous the situation is,It could have resulted in a blast and cause fatality and risk not only to me but the people near that petrol pump,I somehow managed to drain all the petrol and parked my bike in the parking lot near the petrol bunk.

  • Made for single riders long drive

    4 years ago


    Rajesh Kanna

    The bike provides comfortable ride and it has really smooth engine but it's ground clearance is bit of a disadvantage and pillion seat is not comfortable for even half an hour of ride. But reliable when comes to traffic and highway rides and it's digital indicator is a plus as it shows the rpm speed and gear you are riding at along with time and other standard details.

    Bike is good not upto the mark. Service is really really poor. Only good looks doesn't make a bike good it requires an excellence in service too. Bought it on diwali in 2018. Average is quite good, giving 50km/l with light traffic. Top speed to which i ran it 106km/h. Brakes are nice. Abs is really good.
